About the Item
A refined pair of vintage Italian Riviera bamboo stools, executed in the spirit of Franco Albini–style mid-century Italian design, circa 1950s. These sculptural forms exemplify the lightness, rhythm, and architectural clarity that defined postwar Italian coastal interiors.
Each stool features a meticulously bent bamboo frame with elegant circular geometry, joined by hand-wrapped cane bindings that highlight traditional craftsmanship and material honesty. The spiraled tops create a visually dynamic surface, balancing organic warmth with a disciplined modernist structure. Their proportions allow them to function beautifully as stools, low occasional tables, or side tables, and they are especially striking when paired with custom-cut glass tops for a more tailored, elevated presentation.
The warm honeyed patina of the bamboo reflects natural age and use, enhancing their authenticity and Riviera character. Equally suited to a coastal modern interior, a mid-century space, or a layered eclectic setting, this pair offers both decorative impact and versatile functionality.
An uncommon surviving pair with strong visual symmetry and enduring design appeal—ideal for collectors and designers seeking authentic Italian bamboo work from the golden era of Riviera production.
